Armor Design

The Mark 32 has black and silver plates in it's overall armor design. It has an enlarged Unibeam, as well as it's chest piece, which is a similar characteristic to the Mark 17.

It also has a unique design on the face plate, having no facial slit and a smoother surface on the mask, as well as a curved and a more streamlined design of the armor's helmet.

Armor Capabilities

Enhanced Power Output

The Mark 32 has an Enhanced Power Output, which is primarily directed to it's Unibeam. This feature would later be used and succeeded in the Mark 33.

Firepower

Classified as an "Enhanced RT Suit" the armor is specialized for intensive firefights with the Central Unibeam Projector as the strongest weapon of the suit, it can fire much more Repulsor energy than its predecessors, the suit's weaponry grants damage much more powerful than usual levels while featuring stronger electromagnetism for Repulsor-based armaments such as Repulsor Shields.

Durability

Speed and Agility

Classified as a Lightweight Enhanced Chest RT Suit, the Mark 32 is much faster and more agile than any other armor with an oversized chest RT.

Armor Features

Central Unibeam Projector

The "Romeo" features an enhancement unique to its predecessors, it features an extremely enlarged and increased RT Core Unit being able to fire an enormous and much tactful Unibeam Blast than other armors preceding Mark 32.

Donning System

The Mark 32, along with all the other newly built Mark suits, uses a more advanced technology that was based off on the Mark VII's technology, which is able to wrap itself around Tony's body, without the aid of robotic arms or any external mechanicals.

It can flexibly open itself to allow Tony to enter into the suit and automatically wrap itself around him, anywhere at anytime, much like the Mark 42's technology and the other newly built Mark suits'.

Weaponry

The Mark 32 has an enlarged chest RT, as well as the Unibeam. The overall design of the chest piece takes an appearance of a heart when including the large metal bar shoulder pads that are connected to it.

History

Before Iron Man 3

The Iron Legion and Creation

Sometime after the Battle of New York, Tony, who was haunted by what happened in New York, got obsessed in making more Iron Man suits. One of them was the Mark 32.

He designed the Mark 32 to specialize in pure firepower, and created an oversized chest RT that was built within the suit's armor, for it to be able to fire extremely immense power when used.

Completion and Storage

After completing the armor, Stark stored it in the Hall of Armors Chamber beneath his Malibu House, where all the other previous Iron Man Armors he completed were stored in as well.

With Romeo's completion, Stark proceeded to work on a new type of suit with a new Energy Redirect System, resulting the in the creation of the Mark 33 / Silver Centurion.

Malibu Raid

When Tony's Malibu Mansion was raided, and later destroyed, the Mark 32 along with the rest of the Iron Legion were still stored safely within the Hall of Armors Extension, as it was left undamaged during the attack. The chamber was still intact, completely sealed, and concealed from view.

This was part of Stark's plan, in which the Iron Legion was to be used later after he uncovered the truth behind the Mandarin and A.I.M.

Activation of the "House Party Protocol"

The Mark 32 was activated by J.A.R.V.I.S. along with all the other armors in Tony's basement, under Tony's order of the House Party Protocol. It then proceeded to fly towards the Roxxon Oil Rig right after, together with the other 35 armors.

Arrival with the Iron Legion

When the Iron Legion arrived, the Mark 32 surrounded the area along with the other 35 armors. Awaiting Tony's orders, it could briefly be seen in the background as the Extremis Soldiers stand surprised with the arrival of the Iron Legion.

After Tony gave J.A.R.V.I.S. the order to "Target all Extremis Heat Signatures, disable with extreme prejudice.", the Mark 32, controlled by J.A.R.V.I.S. started targeting and attacking the Extremis Soldiers in the area followed by the other armors.

The Mark 32 was never seen on-screen clearly, but could be briefly seen attacking Extremis Soldiers when Rhodey is attempting to save the president.

The armor was presumed to have fought and killed several extremis soldiers during the fight, as it was one of the last 21 armors left standing and succeeded in eliminating the remaining extremis forces with the help of the other Iron Legion armors. The Mark 32 then resumes to flying around the oil rig in the aftermath of the battle.

"Clean Slate Protocol"

The Mark 32 was then detonated by J.A.R.V.I.S. for fireworks along with the other 20 armors, under the Tony's order of the "Clean Slate Protocol". This was to show Tony's devotion to his girlfriend, Pepper Potts. It was the 13th suit to detonate.

Notes

Trivia

The original color design of the Mark 32 is black and silver, but in Iron Man 3 - The Official Game, it has a color scheme of purple and dark gold.

The Mark 32's Chest RT takes the appearance of a heart, which resembles that of Romeo's love, hence the suit's name.

The Central Unibeam Projector of Mark 32 in Iron Man 3 - The Official Game looks much bigger than it's original size.

The Central Unibeam Projectors of Mark 17 and Mark 32 in Iron Man 3 - The Official Game are made different from the presumed fact that the Mark 17's Unibeam is larger than the Mark 32's. In the game, the Mark 32's Unibeam appears to be larger than the Mark 17.
